Harness wire cover and harness wiring structure having the same

Abstract

Providing a harness wire cover flexible in 3-dimensional directions, a harness wire cover is structured by connecting a first connecting member and a second connecting member alternatively into one another where the first connecting member and the second connecting member have respectively a first joint for engaging the first and second connecting members rotatably in a circumference direction of the harness wire cover and a second joint for engaging them rotatable in an axial direction of the harness wire cover. The first joint includes one wall of the first connecting member and the other wall of the second connecting member, a first pin, and an oval hole engaged with the first pin. The second joint portion includes one pair of walls of the first connecting member and the other pair of walls of the second connecting member, a second pin, and a hole engaged with the second pin.

1. A harness wire cover comprising:
 a first connecting member; 
 a second connecting member, having a pair of arc shaped walls with slits therein and oval holes arranged along a circumferential direction of each arc shaped wall, and a pair of projecting walls with holes therein, connected with the first connecting member alternately each other, 
 wherein the first connecting member and the second connecting member have respectively a first joint for engaging the first and second connecting members rotatably with respect to each other in a circumference direction of the harness wire cover and a second joint for engaging the first and second connecting members rotatably in an axis direction of the harness wire cover. 
 
   
   
     2. The harness wire cover as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first joint includes one wall of the first connecting member and the other wall of the second connecting member, which are engaged to each other rotatably between an inner surface of one of the one wall and the other wall and an outer surface of another of the one wall and the other wall, and a first pin arranged at one of the one wall and the other wall, with the oval hole arranged at another of the one wall and the other wall along the circumference direction of the wall and engaged with the first pin. 
   
   
     3. The harness wire cover as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the second joint includes one pair of walls of the first connecting member and the other pair of walls of the second connecting member, and a second pin arranged at one of the one pair of walls and the other pair of walls with the hole arranged at another of the one pair of walls and the other pair of walls and engaged with the second pin. 
   
   
     4. A harness wiring structure, comprising:
 a wire harness; and 
 a harness wire cover claimed in  claim 3 , 
 wherein the harness wire is wired movably from a fixed unit to a moving unit by using the harness wire covers. 
 
   
   
     5. The harness wire cover as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second joint includes one pair of walls of the first connecting member and the other pair of walls of the second connecting member, and a second pin arranged at one of the one pair of walls and the other pair of walls with the hole arranged at another of the one pair of walls and the other pair of walls and engaged with the second pin.
